NAMUR

PED
The Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC) is the legislative framework on European level
for equipment subject to a pressure hazard. It was adopted by the European Parliament and
the European Council in May 1997 and has been obligatory throughout the European Union
since May 2002.
Zero point adjustment
In order to measure accurately with a measuring instrument it is important that zero and gain
have been calibrated. All Coriolis sensors are calibrated before they are sent out to
customers. However, Coriolis sensors are very sensitive, and several factors might move the
zero point, for example installation, pressure, temperature and even very small vibrations
coming from the process. All these factors are customer specific and can't be simulated at
the factory. Therefore Siemens recommends to carry out a zero point adjustment before use.
